Accessing we.config from Sharepoint web part
- by philj
I have a VS 2008 web parts project - in this project is a web.config file:
something like this:
…….
In my web part I am trying to access values in the appSetting section:
I've tried all of the code below and each returns null:
string Owner = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("MFOwner");
string stuff1 = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MFOwner"];
string stuff3 = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MFOwner"];
string stuff4 = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("MFOwner");
string stuff2 = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MFowner".ToString()];
I've tried this code I found:
NameValueCollection sAll;
sAll = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings;
string a;
string b;
foreach (string s in sAll.AllKeys)
{
a = s;
b = sAll.Get(s);
}
and stepped through it in debug mode - that is getting things like :
FeedCacheTime
FeedPageURL
FeedXsl1
ReportViewerMessages
which is NOT coming from anything in my web.config file....maybe a config file in sharepoint itself? How do I access a web.config (or any other kind of config file!) local to my web part???
thanks,
Phil J
